Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! - Roger Ebert’s Journal
Twitter for me performs the function of a running conversation. For someone who cannot speak, it allows a way to unload my zingers and one-liners. One of the problems with written notes and computer voices is that, by their nature, their timing doesn’t work. I used to have good timing. Now in real life a conversation will be whizzing along and a line will pop into my head and by the time I write it down and get someone to read it, the moment and the context will have disappeared. Often everything will grind to a halt while I remind people what I was referring to.
This is an excellent article by Roger Ebert. Since his cancer, he’s lost his voice but has found salvation with twitter and blogging.
Many examples of awesome tweets from known and unknown folks.
